主題座談「拭目以待的挑戰與機遇：人間佛教如何面對AI時代的降臨」
他從馬克思主義宗教觀出發，引用《黑格爾法哲學批判》中的觀點，指出宗教是“無情世界的感性”，其核心在於對人類情感需求的回應。而佛教尤其是人間佛教，正是基於慈悲與智慧的核心理念，並將“情”的維度提升至終極關懷的高度。佛教與中國傳統文化的深度融合，很大程度上正是因佛教與生俱來的對“情”的重視。張教授認為，東方文化區別於西方理性主義傳統，它強調通過“情”來認識世界、關照生命，這一點在儒釋道各家思想中均有體現。星雲大師曾提出“有情有義”的人間佛教觀，這是對佛教精神內核的生動詮釋。而AI雖可精准複現語言和邏輯，卻無法真正理解和傳遞“情”的價值，因此，人間佛教在AI時代的獨特性依然不可替代。 張文良教授以“.....

These three functions of religion imply its capacity to meet the three essential needs of survival, community integration, and addressing the ultimate concern in life, hence its importance cannot be understated.

In The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904), Weber discussed the rationalization of the development of Protestantism in elective affinity to modern capitalism, the first step in the analysis of the influence of religion on modern civilization. In Weber’s later years he wrote The Economic Ethics of the World’s Religions, which further examines the attitudes of different religions towards modern economic life, to highlight the character of “innerworldly mastery” of Protestantism.
